Merry Christmas To All

"A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Please pass around for all to enjoy during this season of joy.

"In the midst of an overly connected world where everyone shares everything, often with fake perceptions, it’s easy to feel inadequate. It’s discouraging when everyone seems to have it all together when you don’t. And it’s hard to remember that you are enough just the way you are.  Everywhere you look it seems that people are doing amazing things. Especially during the holiday season. There’s elaborate Elf on the Shelf ideas, perfectly decorated Christmas cookies, creative homemade gifts, beautiful wrapping jobs, expensive presents, and more. When everyone seems to have more talent, time, and money than you, how are you enough?" - LivingWellMom.  (Click on link to read more.)

"The Amazing History Of Christmas" - PragerU

"How much do you know about Christmas—about its origins and its many beloved traditions? Do you know where the idea of stocking-stuffers comes from? Or how lights found their way onto the Christmas tree? Or why we all have the jolly, red-suited, white-haired image of Santa Claus in our heads? In this video, historian William Federer explores the holiday’s rich and unique history." - PragerU
